About the authors The monograph is a work of twenty-seven authors from three institutions, the Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, different departments of the Geographical Faculty, University of Belgrade and the Geographical Institute Jovan Cvijić, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade. Their scientific, professional and educational work is focused on very wide range of fields within geography and spatial planning, from climatogeography, hydrogeography, landscape ecology, environmental geography to geographies of population, settlements, transportation, Challenges of spatial social, urban, economic geography, regional and urban planning. Their professional engagements are characterized development of Ljubljana by extensive interdisciplinary and international coopera- tion, and by transfer of knowledge gained in basic or applied research to their educational or applicative work. and Belgrade From the reviews Original scientific work, a result of research cooperation of Slovenian and Serbian authors, brings contemporary and fresh theoretical and methodological approaches to urban analysis and spatial planning and represents a thorough upgrade to the existing knowledge about Ljubljana and Belgrade. The monograph is intended for professionals like spatial, urban and regional planners, who are concerned with urban spatial development. But also researchers and students from the fields of geography, spatial development, spatial planning and others will find its contents useful and inviting.

This has even been a spontaneous first reaction of several authors of this book, and a reader could ask just the same question. However, as the circle of researchers from diverse fields discussing the developmental factors and challenges of the two cities expanded, and the communica- tion intensified, the idea of preparing a book combining research results, knowledge and ideas of both teams of researchers became both interesting and feasible. The person initiating the cooperation within a bilateral cooperation between Depart- ment of Geography in Ljubljana and Geographical Faculty in Belgrade, titled “The role of strategic planning, EU comparative data and GIS for spatial development of Central European cities: the case of Ljubljana and Belgrade”, has been Nataša Pichler-Milanović. This cooperation has been financed on the basis of an Agreement for cooperation in science and technology between the Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Serbia in the years 2008 and 2009. The finances from this source have been limited only to support the travel and accommodation during the bilateral visits, but they offered the necessary conditions for growth of the idea of the book. Although the formal as well as majority of organizational burdens of the cooperation, preparation of the book and further fund rising have been carried out by Dejan Djordjević and myself, the credits to prepare the grounds for the cooperation go to Nataša, functioning as a symbolic bridge between her both home cities. This book is a document of time in the life of the two cities, and contains a transection of the recent research of Ljubljana and Belgrade at the two institutions involved. The editors and the authors are well aware that the book cannot cover all the important aspects of the spatial planning and development of Ljubljana and Belgrade. However, the situation and challenges of development of the cities are addressed in a complex geographical and spatial planning manner, from the aspects of physical-geographical factors of de- velopment, positions of the studied cities in the system of settlements and centres, de- mographic characteristics and processes, daily urban systems, social urban geography, economic geography, transport infrastructure, spatial-functional transformations of the metropolitan areas, environmental situation, strategic planning, and geoinformatic sup- port to planning and development. The chapters are in principle prepared in parallels, one for Ljubljana, and the next for Belgrade, addressing similar topics. Such a complex and systematic approach gives the book a monographic character, and will hopefully get appropriate place among main references on spatial development of Ljubljana and Belgrade in the beginning of 21st century. Thanks to all the authors for all their highly valued contributions to the overall contents
